Abstract: Fluid flows of varying temperature occur in heat exchangers, nuclear reactors, nonsteady-flow devices, and combustion engines, among other applications with heat transfer processes that influence ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to provide a succinct review of past and current research in developing wave rotor technology. This technology has shown unique capabilities to enhance the ...

Abstract: Significant performance enhancement of microturbines is predicted by implementing various wave-rotor-topping cycles. Five different advantageous cases are considered for implementation of a four-port ...

Abstract: A numerical method is developed with the capability to predict transient thermal boundary layer response under various flow and thermal conditions. The transient thermal boundary layer variation ...

Abstract: Wave rotors are periodic-flow devices that provide dynamic pressure exchange and efficient energy transfer through internal pressure waves generated due to fast opening and closing of ports. Wave turbines are wave rotors ...
